Please be aware that although we do everything we can to eliminate your wait time, this type of appointment can experience longer than normal wait times.

***Important*** We are not an urgent care facility, so if your insurance requires you to be seen at an urgent care, we do not file claims as an urgent care.

Please stop by our office or print out our New Patient Packet and return to our office. You will need to request all your medical records be sent to our office or complete a medical records release form and have our office request your records for you. Once your medical records have been received in our office, one of our staff members will contact you to schedule an appointment.

A wellness physical is typically covered at 100% by your insurance company and has specific guidelines set forth by your insurance company to be covered at this visit. Preventative care such as immunizations and annual screenings including required labs, will be discussed. If you are requesting medication refills and addressing chronic medical problems, this will need to be done in another face to face visit.

Our office understands that life happens, however we request that if you will not be able to make your regularly schedule appointment, please contact our office at 910-329-9916 24 hours before your appointment to avoid the $25.00 No Show fee.
